The Mason Dixon Paso Fino Horse Association was incorporated in 1987. The region includes the states of New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Maryland and West Virginia. This regional association has experienced considerable growth in recent years and continues to expand its support to both the PFHA and Paso Fino owners within the region.

Mason Dixon's activities continue to grow and expand with its membership. The Region's largest Show, held at the Lexington Va. Horse Center every year, has grown successfully enough, to award cash winnings for many classes. The Breeders' Futurity held in conjunction with the show has had its third successful year paying out over $18,000.00. Another show growing for the Region is the May Day Show held at the Diamond 7 Ranch in Dillsburg, PA. The Region also has a show at the Keystone International Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania held each October.

The Region has implemented an Ambassador Program for potential and new members coming into the breed and region so that there will be a local contact person that the new member can go to for assistance. As an addition to that, Mason Dixon sponsors several educational training clinics throughout the region.

Thanks to many dedicated members, at several of the Horse World Expos, Mason Dixon is able to well represent and promote the breed each winter by manning booths and demonstrating the horses. Those expos include Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Where and when ever possible the members of Mason Dixon do not hesitate to promote the breed by participating in equine demonstrations, clinics, parades; or by holding an open house for the public and trail riding with other groups or just riding with each other.

Mason Dixon has an active trail riding program that includes many scheduled rides in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and even Virginia. There is an awards program in place where trail riders log their hours towards winning annual awards. This Region has many members devoted to promoting the breed through trail riding and competitive trail events.

Our association sincerely desires to represent all of the region's Paso Fino people and provide a sound support system that will increase breed related activity for our members. If you are visiting our region please let us know if we can assist you.
